This whole thread started with you giving an example of how people don't actually have these rights.
So even you know they aren't actually universal or inalienable.
232 years of pretending people have rights that they demonstrably do not have.

Yes. What is the meaning of a right that nobody enforces?
It's just an aspiration, a wish, something you'd like to have or other people would like you to have. If nobody's enforcing it, it's not really a right. By definition.

These were fights to create rights. They didn't have them before.
